well you know Kelly Grahams is always

bad news somebody's passed on I think we

gotta open it please don't Jed there's

been a death in the family I just know

it now you're jumping to conclusion

conclusion you mark my words it won't be

long until the Old Duke will commence to

howling and you know what that means any

howling around here will be done when

Jethro comes down finds out his

breakfast ain't ready how can he think

about food at a time like this when

there's a death in the family kilogram

don't have to mean that now I'm going to

open it I ain't gonna listen

it's from Luellen Aiden in Monroe

Louisiana

oh that's that little girl that Jethro

used to tow their books back home I

thought you wasn't gonna listen

can I help but if I

got she is coming to California in fact

she's flying in this morning what fur

well she says she's finally going to

take the big step and she can't wait to

see Jethro I wonder what she means by

the big step your dog find him

come on everybody where's the middle

I'll come in to fix some breakfast right

away thank you Granny

jethroat

you recollect little girl back home Nama

Lou Evan Hayden

Lou Ellen eight yeah she moved down to

Louisiana by the time we come out here

to California

Louella hey you just told her books to

school

oh yeah I used to call her cupcake

cupcake

sweetest thing I ever put my lips to who

Ellen was huh no the cupcake she used to

tote to school in her lunch box

[Music]

because I was done eating my lunch she'd

give me what was left of hers she liked

you huh yeah I was crazy about her too

first time I ever really fell in love

with Luellen no with her cupcakes

it was molasses cupcakes with

marshmallow icing well how do you feel

about Llewellyn I liked her fine why

well in her telegram here

she says she is coming to California

this morning

she can't wait to see you

and she is finally going to take the big

step

I wonder what she means by that that's

what your granny and me is trying to

figure out

you're proposed to her you mean marriage

yeah do you ever ask her to marry you

oh gosh I remember I give her a ring

engagement ring

well I don't know we was walking home

from school and I seen this here

horseshoe nail lying on the road so I

picked it up with my toes showing off

well anyways I bent it into a ring and I

slipped it on her finger

was it by any chance a third finger of

her left hand

yeah it was and then I kissed her

it did

yeah there was still some icing left on

her lips

and get through

think hard try to recollect everything

you said to her on the day you put the

ring on her finger

okay well let me think

did you ask her to wait for you yep yep

that's exactly what I said I said Lou

Ellen you wait for me you act like

anything else you said

well when we got to her house I said

sweetheart I says someday you and me is

going to share everything together yeah

true it looks to me like you was facing

a wedding I am

yeah we'll figure it out for yourself

you put a ring on her engagement's

finger you kissed her you asked her to

wait for you and you said someday you

and her was going to share everything

yeah well when I said share everything I

meant everything in her lunch box not

just the cupcakes

maybe that's what you meant but I don't

think that's the way she took it boy you

were just a handful of rice away from

being a married man

legit I can't marry no little hillbilly

girl like Lou Allen Maiden why not

because I'm a sophisticated Playboy a

member of the international Jetson why

if I was to walk into that Palace in

Monaco with that little oh hey seed why

Princess Grace and Prince reindeer and

throw me out

well don't go to see Princess Grace and

Prince reindeer who said ask me to give

a poem ask me to give up skiing in the

Alps but don't ask me to give up my

friends

you won't figure out what Llewellyn

meant by that telegram yeah granny

appears like she's coming out here to

marry Jethro she's got to find me first
